ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of Qingre Huoxue prescription combined with methotrexate (MTX) and folic acid (FA) on homocysteine (Hcy) levels and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) complicated by hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). MethodsOn the basis of a multicenter real-world cohort from the China Registry of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Rheumatism (CERTAIN) platform,408 patients with RA complicated by HHcy were selected and included in this study. Treatment with Qingre Huoxue prescription was used as the exposure factor. According to whether Qingre Huoxue prescription was combined with MTX and FA,patients were assigned into an exposure group of 281 cases and a control group of 127 cases. Follow-ups were conducted every three months,with the primary outcome indicator being the achievement rate of target Hcy level. A generalized estimating equation model was adopted to analyze the dynamic changes in Hcy level under different medication regimens. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to evaluate the cumulative achievement rate of target Hcy level in the two groups,and Cox regression analysis was conducted to explore the predictive factors affecting the achievement rate of target Hcy level. Changes in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),C-reactive protein (CRP),28-joint disease activity score (DAS 28),and Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) scores before and after the first combined treatment with Qingre Huoxue prescription were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe Hcy level in the exposure group showed a gradual decreasing trend over time,while the decrease in Hcy level was not significant in the control group. At the 12-month follow-up,the achievement rate of target Hcy level in the exposure group (124/281,44.13%) was higher than that in the control group (23/127,18.11%,P<0.01). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that treatment with Qingre Huoxue prescription [hazard ratio(HR)=3.013,95% confidence interval (CI) 2.188-4.149, P<0.001], absence of comorbidities (HR=2.035, 95%CI 1.352-3.061, P<0.001), and baseline Hcy <15 μmol·L-1 (HR=1.810, 95%CI 1.390-2.357, P<0.001) were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of achieving target Hcy levels within 6 months. In contrast, higher PGA scores were associated with a reduced likelihood of achieving target Hcy levels (HR=0.991, 95% CI 0.986-0.997, P=0.003). After treatment,the exposure group demonstrated reductions in ESR,CRP,and DAS 28 scores (P<0.05) and had lower ESR,CRP and DAS 28 scores than the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionEven after taking FA supplements,some RA patients undergoing MTX treatment still have high Hcy levels. When being used in conjunction with MTX and FA,Qingre Huoxue prescription can effectively lower the Hcy level and disease activity in RA patients with HHcy,outperforming Western treatment alone.

Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of ultra-long hospitalization in malignant tumor patients and to explore strategies to reduce the average length of stay and enhance the efficiency of medical re-source utilization.Methods Ultra-long hospitalization was defined as the 99th percentile of hospital stay duration(P99=31 days).Data from patients discharged with malignant tumors in a specialized cancer hospital in 2024 were collected.The distribu-tion characteristics and influencing factors were analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic stepwise regression.Results Among the 36 097 patients with malignant tumors,the average length of stay was 4.95 days,with 375 cases classified as ultra-long hospi-talizations,accounting for 1.04%.These patients were predominantly over 55 years old,with a higher proportion of males.Pa-tients with stage Ⅲ malignant tumors,primary tumors classified as T2~T3,and primary sites in the esophagus,pancreas,and maxillofacial regions had a higher incidence of ultra-long hospitalizations.Significant factors influencing ultra-long hospitalization included treatment modality,complications(OR=20.319),number of discharge diagnoses(OR=6.915),ICU transfers(OR=4.714),unplanned reoperations(OR=4.416),tumor type,extent,and stage.Conclusion Medical institutions are advised to address the influencing factors of ultra-long hospitalizations by optimizing diagnostic and treatment processes,enhan-cing quality control systems,establishing early warning mechanisms,and strengthening information systems.These measures aim to improve the standardization of malignant tumor diagnosis and treatment,ensuring patient safety.

Objective To explore the incidence and its influencing factors of transient severe motion(TSM)in the arterial phase of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid(Gd-EOB-DTPA)enhanced MRI.Methods The databases of China National Knowledge Network(CNKI),VIP,Wanfang,PubMed,and Embase were searched for studies on the incidence and influencing factors of TSM,and the search time was from the establishment of the databases to October 2024.Meta-analysis was performed via Stata 17.0 software.Results A total of 30 papers(33 studies)were finally included,totaling 12 565 patients.Meta-analysis results showed that the incidence of TSM in the arterial phase of Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI was 13.0%.The risk factors for TSM included age[odds ratio(OR)=1.03;95%confidence interval(CI)1.02-1.05;P<0.001),chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)(OR=4.21;95%CI 1.76-10.09;P=0.001),and moderate-to-severe pleural effusion(OR=3.34;95%CI 1.69-6.63;P=0.001),while a previous usage history of Gd-EOB-DTPA(OR=0.56;95%CI 0.39-0.81;P=0.002)was a protective factor of TSM.Conclusion The incidence of TSM in the arterial phase of Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced MRI is relatively high.Age,COPD,moderate-to-severe pleural effusion are risk factors for TSM,while the previous usage history of Gd-EOB-DTPA is a protective factor for TSM.

Drug addiction is a serious public health problem worldwide,for which there are currently no established therapeutic medications.Since the legalization of cannabis and the approval of cannabidiol(CBD)by the US Food and Drug Administration,its therapeutic potential for the treatment of substance abuse has been widely explored.Numerous studies have shown that CBD can reduce drug reward in animal models of addiction such as self-administration,conditioned positional preference,and intracranial self-stimulation.CBD can also reduce withdrawal symptoms from substances such as amphetamines,opioids,cocaine,marijuana,alcohol,and nicotine.The mechanisms by which CBD modulates drug addiction,however,are complex and understudied.Here we review studies of CBD related to addictive drugs to clarify the regulatory mechanisms of CBD in drug addiction and provide references for related studies on substance abuse.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is categorized into two major classes based on the heterogeneity of histological phenotypes:proliferative HCC and non-proliferative HCC.These classes exhibit distinct clinical,molecular and imaging characteristics.Within these two major categories,there exist multiple pathological subtypes,each demonstrating unique molecular and histological features that manifest differently in imaging findings.Additionally,the prognosis of these HCC pathological subtypes diverges from that of not-otherwise-specified HCC,and current clinical guidelines for their treatment remain unclear.This article aims to summarize the imaging manifestations and prognosis of the histopathological subtypes of HCC,so as to enhance identification and judgement of HCC subtypes,and to provide a theoretical basis for selecting appropriate therapeutic strategies.

In clinical practice,the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma primarily relies on imaging findings.For cases with atypical imaging features or insufficient diagnostic specificity,pathological analysis remains essential.With the advancement of precision medicine,research focus has expanded from pure diagnostic evaluation to therapeutic efficacy prediction.Imaging-based prognostic biomarkers have emerged as a key research frontier in hepatocellular carcinoma management.Although accurate diagnosis remains paramount,current investigations increasingly prioritize the identification of biomarkers for treatment response prediction and outcome stratification.Recent studies demonstrate that radiological characteristics not only reflect tumor heterogeneity but also carry prognostic implications for hepatocellular carcinoma.These imaging biomarkers enable non-invasive outcome prediction and provide objective evidence to optimize therapeutic decision-making.This comprehensive review summarizes MRI-derived imaging features associated with hepatocellular carcinoma prognosis,aiming to guide personalized treatment strategies and ultimately improve survival outcomes for hepatocellular carcinoma patients.
